A technology that organizes data security in swarms: The blockchain
claims to solve nothing less than the confidence problem of the entire
human race. Either by bank transferrals, contracts or technical
parameters – the inseparably linked data blocks should prevent any
manipulation by third parties. Because trustworthy instances and
middlemen are no longer needed, machines can conclude binding contracts,
too. So is the blockchain the reinvention of the Internet – and the
future basis of the economy and society? With the decentralized
regulatory corset, the water or energy supply should be just as
comprehensively organized as the pension and health system. Those great
visions must prove their potential in test applications first. From
transparent production and supply chains to autonomous mobility
services: The conference Blockchain Business Models does not focus on
the technology hype, but on resilient business models. The progress in
efficiency will be discussed in detailed showcases, but problems of the
blockchain will be analyzed in these applications, too.
